Re: Paramount Theater, Aurora, IL
Please pardon my late entry here, but I did attend the Paramount show last night (Oct. 15, 2010) also. Brought with me my mother (79), sister (50 something), and oldest daughter (26). It was my daughter's first Lightfoot concert.
We had pretty decent seats... 6th row on the left side... nice angle for watching Gord and Terry play at the same time! I was paying special attention to the guitar work as I'm learning to play guitar.
My thoughts were much along the same lines as redhead (Special thanks to redhead for the setlist!). I thought Gord was doing very well, a nice mix on the setlist...
One memorable moment I recall... He got more applause than he expected on Ponyman (at least I pretty sure it was Ponyman)... He had a very surprised look as the applause went on. His expression was saying very clearly "wow, they really liked that one!"
All in all it was a great evening! Would have been nice to get backstage passes, but I knew all along that that would be a long shot.
Oh, and by the way, I too thought the old jokes are getting a little too old! Maybe we corfidians could come up with thread here and add our one-liners to submit for Gord's consideration? Can't do any worse!
